And Bruce Dickinson (they're old singer) has better range, intonation, emotion... you name it, it's 10 times better than Blaze. You should get Powerslave, Piece of Mind, or Somewhere in time... that was Maiden's peak... and you should also consider getting Live after Death.... that CD, along with Metallica's 'Kill 'em All' lit a fire under my guitar playing butt. i.e. I learned every song from beginning to end... then I moved on to Satriani :) > modernize his/her playing should shed this book.

Message-ID: Hi Jammers, I am a supreme lurker here on the 'Jam, but once in a while I post stuff DT-related (clinic, concert reviews and stuff). Anyways, I just came back from the Rush show at Jones Beach, NY and I'm totally stoked! I had 18th row seats at the venue (my first time there) and it was a beautiful night for a concert. Rush played their asses off and it was the 2nd best performance I've ever seen them do, the best being last Thursday at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Jersey. Anyways, before the show started, I was sitting down waiting for it to begin and lo and behold I see John Petrucci to my right walking down the aisle. I didn't realize it was him at first because I've never actually seen him up close, and he looks MUCH taller on stage, for whatever reason. It was confirmed when I noticed James Labrie right behind him. Followed by Derek. Followed by Mike. John M came a little later on. So I had the whole Dream Theater band and the 2 wives sitting 5 rows directly in front of me!! I could not believe my luck. My 2 favorite bands in the world were all within 30 feet of where I stood! Naturally, I realized this was an opportunity to meet the band, but I felt a bit nervous since I'm kind of a shy type of person and didn't want to say something stupid. I have met Mike at a drum clinic over a year ago, but that was no problem since he was out signing autographs for everyone anyway. So, at the intermission, my friend and my little sister (a 14-year-old DT fan!) walked up to them and shook their hands. They were all SO friendly to us and I felt stupid for being so tentative to say hello. Derek especially was friendly, even making sure that he knew each of our names. We basically told them that we can't wait to finally hear the new album and that we're huge fans of theirs. Derek wanted me to pass the word that they expect a release date of *September 23* ! So there you go Jammers, from the men themselves. I must say that upon meeting them and seeing how they treat their fans, this band is truly special. Kudos to DT! Very down-to-earth, as most of you who have met them have already noticed. Take care...

Just got my ass kicked by RUSH at Jones Beach, Long Island and was pleasantly blown away when I see Petrucci and Myung walking right past my aisle seat during "Trees". I screamed their names but it was too late. Nevertheless, I definitely saw them coming back to their seats ('bout 5 rows back on Lifeson's side) and saw them just hangin' out there during intermission (during which I had to regain my strangth after "2112"). My friend and I tried to talk to them during intermission but was immediately shot down by the guy who checks tickets for that section (wonder if he was even human?)..anyhow I was able to catch Mike on the way out. I was wearing my FATES WARNING "Inside Out" shirt and first thing he said was "Great shirt!"..thought that in and of itself ruled. I asked if it was possible that they would open for QUEENSRYCHE at Jones Beach on July 30th but he said probably not cuz of all the studio work. Of course I asked about the album and he told me that it was set for release on Sept 23rd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I'm not sure if I'm the first person to find this out or what..I can't believe no one else noticed them at the show..it was incredible!! There had to have more jammers there! Anyway, it was just a great ending to a great show..RUSH rules supreme and Mike P was super cool. I would have liked to talk to the rest of them everyone was in a herd to get out of the place. Wheels within wheels in a spiral array......................... cheers, Carlo (aka Fates, aka YtseSatan) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Jun 1997 23:57:44 -0600 From: "Vincent G.

Now those Bafu-esque gay rumors are gonna sprout up again :) Anywayz, Sep 23rd, huh? Kick ass! Wow, good year for Metal. Ozzfest, Megadeth, DT, Pantera live CD, Megadeth touring :), supposedly a "hard and heavy" Metallica album out by the end of the year (Quoted from Dave Mustaine in Guitar World), and a new...HEAVIER...more progressive...DREAM THEATER CD.

Set up a trade with someone who has a Fix tape instead.

In fact, LaBrie was passing out Fix tapes last week at his caribou farm in Canada. My point is, regardless of what you may have heard, the band is just all over the idea. Really. Spread the tapes around, I mean isn't that what the band wanted in the first place? Can you believe that all this time Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew have had a radio show on every weeknight? Nationally-broadcast, 10pm, two hour show, plus it ends at midnight so you can jump right over to MTV and get another whole hour of quality psychological/carnal advice...

Any comments/rebuttals on this. >Hopefully i will like the old singer better! Sorry if this topic was >already discussed. Um... Blaze is one of my favourite singers. Spiff doesn't like it when people criticise Blaze. That's bad. I admit that he was more in his element with Wolfsbane, but he definately suits all of the songs on the very-much underrated The X Factor. If he does sound bad it's because of Steve Harris' and Nigel Green's production. That's the only thing wrong with the album. Anyone know who's producing the new album? I'm surprised I haven't read anything, seeing as they're recording it at the moment. --- In other news... *Still waiting for my discs from KTS... I ordered them around the end of May. How long do they normally take? I haven't checked if they've debitted my Mastercard yet...

I'll have to give it a few more tries... *Megadeth's "Cryptic Writings", on the other hand, is still the number one release of the year so far, even better than Bruce Dickinson's "Accident of Birth" and Fates Warning's not-as-good-as-I-first-thought "A Pleasant Shade of Gray". *I'm going to buy a guitar soon.

Message-ID: OK. Here's the scoop. Tourniquet "Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance" from Metal Blade c1993. This CD is great. Really great. Would I kid the jam ?? I just dont happen to like it. I tried to sell it on a number of occasions and this failed. Me thinks that I was asking too much. Therefore, I am now going to lower my price to free. That's right. FREE. Rhymes with Labrie. You get the picture. Small print. Unless you come to lovely Boston to pick it up, there will be the cost of a mailer and postage. For the US, I would assume that this would be about two bucks. You would be responsible for picking up this tab. And as an added twist, since I assume that at the price of free there could be multiple requests, you have to e-mail me and say what kind thing you promise to do for someone or some organization (i.e., not just promise to mail me the money). The most decent offer, plus two bucks, gets the disk. Mark be the judge here. Guess that's more small print. Get creative !!
